I'm sticking with my preseason prediction and analysis , because it still holds true. The NFC is absolutely loaded, with about six teams looking like true contenders.

The Rams entered the season with a ton of hype -- then they went out and backed it all up. They top it off by handing Bill Belichick the most lopsided playoff defeat of his career.

It's hard to imagine the Patriots could be an underdog in this game, but I don't think they will be able to keep pace with Sean McVay's squad.

With balanced offenses and defenses that have the personnel to do some serious damage, these two squads are built for the postseason. Goff and Gurley vs.

It's going to be so good! They should just consider heading up to the Rose Bowl instead if this matchup comes to pass. In all seriousness, I think this would surprisingly be a defensive game -- much different from their Week 3 meeting , which the Rams won Before the season, I said the Rams would win an all-L.

Todd Gurley and Aaron Donald lead the Rams to victory. Super Bowl sounds appetizing, the Patriots rise again perhaps for the final time , upending the Chiefs on the way to a meeting with the unstoppable Rams.

Sean McVay completes his meteoric ascension by securing the title the Dodgers couldn't bring home. The league and CBS get precisely what they desire: With no legitimate competition in the AFC East and an earlier win vs.

Kansas City, the Patriots are looking at another scenario in which the road to the Super Bowl goes through Foxborough. The Saints have been electric on offense, and so have the Rams , but New Orleans has a more experienced quarterback in Drew Brees.

Getting a win vs. The Saints snapped out of an early season funk and again look like the powerhouse I picked to win it all in the preseason.

To say that the Chiefs have not let me down would be an understatement. Sticking with my preseason pick. The Saints and Rams are the most balanced teams in the league, but New Orleans has the advantage of a veteran quarterback -- as well as two productive running backs for the postseason.

This was my pick at the start of the season , and I'm not ready to hedge off it just yet. This is shaping up to be the perfect season for Drew Brees , setting the all-time passing record and collecting another Super Bowl win.

Brees retires days later. Payton takes the Browns job. The league had also originally announced in that Los Angeles would be eligible as a potential Super Bowl LIV site if there is a stadium in place, and a team moved there by the start of the season.

Louis Rams to return to Los Angeles; their new stadium in Inglewood, California was, at the time of the vote, not scheduled to open until August it began construction in December , giving nearly three years to construct the stadium.

This meant that the new stadium was scheduled to be open in time for the game and the league selected the relocating team just in time to be considered for Super Bowl LIV , but, under the current construction timetable, would require a waiver of league policy to host Super Bowl LIV, as the league does not allow stadiums in their first year of existence to host the Super Bowl to ensure that stadium construction delays and unforeseen problems do not jeopardize the game.
